[NamGungBeomHwan]

*disatisfied

[NamGungBeomHwan]

different musical preperences do a good fuction on your culture so why don't you just accept that there are always satisfied listeners and disatified ones too..

[stratkiller51]

When I first clicked on this, I thought it would be like the Hendrix song, 1983 a merman i should be

[oEarLyman]

he was only 5 years old at that time lol

[airguitar03]

@oEarLyman The lyrics say i wish i was 6 again...

[jzman893]

@oEarLyman deff has a tattoo of 1977 on his chest.

[ewffanforever72]

The 8 people that disliked this video didn't understand the seamless transitions of 80s pop hits into a great song.

[lolavdwal]

best piece at 4:20 wow

[patientlywaiting10]

@Cbluesrocker I completely agree. I adore Battle Studies, but I LOVE his previous albums :)

[cornfedz]

bobble head mayer

[TheKatyLady1]

Thats not 83

[janggun1229]

lol he changed it into "no such thing" xD ... did i just kill a joke?

[jrdillon130]

the 8 people who disliked this have something wrong with them!!! best song ever!!

[cooncheese360]

his voice is like really breathy around this era

[spareaxe]

You got the year wrong.

[shawnfraser16]

how does he do that sexy riff at :19

[AXLROSE4LYF]

too fast ...........

[senhordasempadas]

how can you dislike this

[TheFivestarr]

if only my life !



[luvrofdelb]

Thinkin bout my brother Ryan he looks just like his sister bran but on an 8 yr delay....i sing it like that everytime haha

[rgl3ma57]

this song kicks ass!!

[no27i]

Cyndi Lauper, girls just wanna have fun!!!



[Cbluesrocker]

Its a bitter sweet feeling trying to wrap my finger around the fact that he is soooo talented!!!!!!

[idosyncrasy]

Give me 83 thumbs up!

[AwsomeSoda]

I love the way at the start he remixes his own voice.

[Amylouthomas]

'On a 18 month delay ... He's a-okay.. By the way' Love it haha

[Tonguinho]

YO THIS SONG IS THE SHIZZLE !!!!! FEEL THE GROOVE IN YOUR VAINS !!

[nidin45]

Bass makes this song

[superugly75]

This song reminds me of little black boys runnin to the candy lady's house for a piece of fried chicken or maybe a pickle.....lol - Thx john

[Jaylasplenty]

: )

[Geobon]

Everyone at at 4:30

[thejohnmelodius]

lol. "it's a bittersweet feeling hearing NO SUCH THING on the radio"

[adamlikescereal]

his obsession with carpets.. gotta love it.. haha

[Kidneybros]

@murda1991 what is jm3?

[RideLXbindings]

@Kidneybros Jm3 stands for john mayer trio(John, Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan) they have a disc called Try!. Really awesome songs ;)

[thekz4444]

JMazing!

[johnmayerfan926]

Can I just say that me being a hug fan of his say that this is one of his best performances!!!

I luv this song but this performance makes it even better!!!!

[twostep332]

@johnmayerfan926 ... agreed , it is tough pick between this or 3x5

[47masterguitar]

John! You r awesome!!!

[angelicawalker123]

I downloaded this and made it my ringtone :D

[Cbluesrocker]

Ok who thinks that even for somebody like mayer it's gonna be hard for him to top room for squares and continuum?

[murda1991]

@Cbluesrocker he already topped both of those with jm3 and battle studies.

[Cbluesrocker]

@murda1991 I like Battle Studies, but i think continuum and room for squares are still by far his best albums.

[murda1991]

@Cbluesrocker my opinion is skewed because I can't stand his lispy voice on rooms for squares and I'm a guitarist so jm3 is my favorite lol

[ciatrena]

I AGREE!!!!

[wordthatscool]

@Cbluesrocker i think its very tough to top Room for Squares simply because the entire album is awesome. not a single skip-over track for me, i listen to the whole thing thru every time i listen to it. amazing lyrics, very unique jazz/rock style and always great guitar playing by JM

[TimB1992]

@Cbluesrocker aggree, room 4 squares & continuum are the best by far. didnt realy care for battle studies. waiting for next album!

[SatchmanKeat]

It's cool how John always seems to be performing on a carpet.

[cmac2415]

@SatchmanKeat lots of musicians do it, including myself, its really hard on your feet to be standing on the rock hard stage for 2-3 hours, having a carpet down at least helps a little!

[Manuzita09]

Greattttttttttt song... I wish I was any young age again... awesome... the year of Manu's birhtday :0)

[jhetta22]

Da La (David Laybraye is such a badass bassist

[fastballcastro]

This guy really rocks....

[LOLOKAKASOSO]

i bet the blondies in the front dont know shit about music

[richie0090]

great song....girls just to have fun! very good part

[2555music]

There is nothing i can say but incredible anyone who denies john mayers talent denies duane allman eric clapton jeff beck and so much more.

[masonluver5678]

Aah at 5:47 to 5:48 his voiceee!!! Ohmygod hes amazing i love him. Beautiful! I love the vibrato in his voice there! Its perfect it just makes the whole song like the best song ever just from that note he sings!

[Jeterify]

What the...? I thought he was born 1977?

[highwaychile67]

@Jeterify he was, that means he would be 6...as in the line "i wish i was 6 again" its just math.

[Jeterify]

@highwaychile67

Ah, thought this was live FROM 1983. Thank you for clearifying :)

[drjay473]

this is a great version

[MAMAmiaEllis]

....whoever thought this concert was in '83....is retarded...he was 6 in 1983

[bunkerdaddy8]

haha great song but john mayer didnt even start doing shows until the 90's so this wanst filmed 83 lol this actually wasnt too long ago

[brianrosebrook]

@bunkerdaddy8 go to bed

[casplash4]

@bunkerdaddy8 83 aka 1983 is the name of the song dumbass

[fenderplayer61]

@casplash4 no i'm pretty sure this was legit 1983. I was at that concert

[rylan0715]

@fenderplayer61 then you are just a fucking moron.

[fenderplayer61]

...said the person who can't pick up obvious sarcasm

[ben10150]

@fenderplayer61 hahah! XD

[juanmanuelcaruso]

I've heard this song because of a friend and started like it :) but i prefer the studio version.

[casplash4]

can somebody link me to a studio version?

[KHESEDjou]

@casplash4 watch?v=FCnw55K_odo

[underlinedbluetext]

man. he was young!.

[HeartChew]

I love this guy! Sch a great little diddy!

[gsgalli]

83???? ajjaja are you sure man?? so in this video he was 6 years old<'??? wow!!!! ajajajjajjajajjajaja

[RASTAatBASS]

he's ayy okay by the way. because he alludes to the fact that something happened to his brother "i miss him everyday", i think hes clearing up any confusion that people might have. i could be totally wrong, but i think that's right.

[BarlowEnter]

Why the bass player have to contort his face so badly...It's extremely unpleasant to see that face everytime the camera is on it!

[Cbluesrocker]

I liked his voice back then better than now. he is still a great singer don't get me wrong, but i liked the whisper in his voice back then.

[bubbabubbabooba]

is this a Dave Mathews cover band? sure sounds like it.

[jwdubs]

@bubbabubbabooba haha....i laugh at your ignorance to call john mayer a dmb coverband

[bubbabubbabooba]

@jwdubs well I'm glad I made your day a happy one dork............I'm mostly refering to DM's singing style......Mayer clearly stole it to tap into DMB audiance which is a lucrative one.........too bad Mayer's not as good a musician as he is a businessman........

[NinevoltG]

@bubbabubbabooba dude... john mayer wayyy better than dmb.. dont get me wrong, dave matthews is good, but cant compare to john mayer.

[bubbabubbabooba]

@NinevoltG I don't agree, Mathews has a much more original sound to his music. Mayer's boring and unoriginal.........but to each his own.......

[minhdiszles]

@bubbabubbabooba mayer boring and unoriginal? hah.....

[bubbabubbabooba]

@minhdiszles Mayer is a funny joke isn't he.......ha ha ha!!

[skierpage]

JM on keyboard, sweet!

One of his better lyrics, close to 3x5.

Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" came out in 1983 and Deniece Williams' "Let's Hear it for the Boy" was in the movie Footloose in 1984. Damn clever.

[Jessiii24]

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!

omg, this guy is brilliant<3

[dougsusername]

nice shout out to ct there..thansk john

[HioPrimas]

LOLLLLL!! GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUNN! john u're a legend;P

[metiron77]

what does he say bout his brother really quickly at 2:46? I don't get it

[xjman349]

@metiron77 "he looks just like his brother john, but on an 18 month delay, he's afk by the way. here I stand six feet small smiling cause im scared as hell. "

[metiron77]

@xjman349 thanks a lot

[YoLpIsBest]

afk? away from keyboard!?

[Oaken007]

No, dude... that is not what he's saying... I can't exactly pinpoint it, but he said something about "being a month away."

[x3courtneybelle]

thinkin bout my brother ben, i miss him everyday. he looks just like his brother john, but on an 18-month delay.

[nicholasczapiewski]

i think he says "he's a-okay by the way" lol

[BigBoiJC]

@metiron77 He's A-OK, By The Way

[MaureenK21]

He says;

He looks just like his brother John but on an 18th month delay

and than something like,, He is A okay by the way

[gookingwenceslas]

Whoa!  Go David!

[varialniloo]

this is absolutely his best song. I mean it, the guitar is so calming.

[purelivingmusic]

He can do anything!!!

AMAZING!

[MaveJDatthews]

5:48 I love the quick vocal riff he does when he sings, "they just wanna, they just wanna-a-eh-a-a". Sounds great!

[CaptainDan27]

john mayer was born in 1977 and he didnt start playing guitar untill he was 13... do the math, this wasnt filmed in 1983.

[aronkarmusic]

youre right.. plus this is any given thursday wich was in 2003..

[corndawg15]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!­ joooooooooooooooohhhn!!

[ams914]

Now i get why he decided to cover message in a bottle. lol

[Sph134s]

why?

[ams914]

Chords are the same.

[Damuluv]

this song is such a breath of fresh air.

actually makes me sad but happy at the same time. this is music that i will definantly be listening to in 20-30 years from now.

fuck the bullshit fad music!

[KMSfan]

is this song like a whole bunch of his songs mixed together?

[djcolione]

It's all about 5:55 right chaigha?

[LJPearl]

I love this version of '83. I love how he puts the ole' school songs at the end. So awesome!

[sirpunksalot09]

your telling me he is six in this video, give me a break and tell the truth

[Celwynar]

he was borne in 77, in 1983 that makes him 6 years old. which is why the line is "I wish I was six again" this was filmed only a few years back, back in 03

[surfingers]

i'm pretty sure that they've just extended the song title...

83 is short for 1983......

[jordanroeckner]

@Celwynar it was actually in 2002 but who's counting ;)

[Celwynar]

@jordanroeckner oh well :P I was close xD, none the less he's come a LONG way since '83 lol.

[dvdmoe]

@Celwynar

Thank you very much Math Detective.

[Noisespreads]

@Celwynar Wish they had high-quality like this in '83.

[russianforgod]

um... good song

[Levidamanguitar]

Is it just me or is the guitar in this song so relaxing?

[chatoconlentes]

AWESOME!!! (said with the Botl's real rodent voice...)

[BigBoiJC]

I wonder why Dela isn't with Mayer anymore.

[osianjones25]

if u listen to the lyrics it makes sense

first lyrics are 'and these days/i wish i was 6 again'

[if6was10]

he was obviously joking, wow guys

[borg6119sbf]

hahaha thats true ive listened to this thing so much never noticed that lol

[ProjMayhem22]

Haha, pretty sure that was the point...he was "remixing" it.

[borg6119sbf]

very good.......alot of people hate john mayer with all this shit about jennifer anniston which is annoying to save his career he needs to stay away from actors which means basically stay away from hardcore paparazzi which is the last thing this legend needs.

[spitandsawdust99]

bit to experimental

[Ilovegreendart21]

no such thing

[Arechot23]

i like the last part where he go.. " if only my life was more like 83~~~~" he pitch that 3.. thats nice man.. keep up the music john !!

[TheMightyQuinn25]

I used to have a bowl that I named lunch box and my dad accidently threw it away, then i heard this song and bugged tits. It was like he was writing the song to me.

[blahh231]

cindi lauper?

[christeenieina]

hahah right? girls just wanna have fun

[bmprebelo]

this is becoming one of my favourite john mayer songs. i actualy didn't like it much when i first heatd it, but now i can't stop thinking about it.

[bmprebelo]

go john, nail that keyboard! xD

[camaross89]

the beginning of this reminds me a lot of the clip of him beat boxing on the Mayercraft carrier.

[tommy2008]

i wanna be superman haha

[sjimontjuh]

I really really really wish I was six again, wouldn't wanna be superman though..

[TheLibraBaby]

there's so many words to describe John Mayer but I'm going to just find one really good one.

Legend.

[tonetonevolume]

nice bassline

[kylej88]

ya this is "any given thursday" in 2002

[brandonj70]

this is not 1983...

[Torikan]

It's a song called 1983 smart guy...

[gleneth]

no its not its called 83 smart guy

[KATOMATE01]

ha you suck at smartness

[SeitiTCA]

this song have so much of latin beat,... specialy brazilian!

[maximposter]

That's why we love it!

[nesselegant]

i saw his brother Ben,,,he really looks like his bro john..cool!!!!and john really looks like his dad,especially the eyes..his dad is 80 years old..cant u believe it:love you john!!!

[ibangdrums47]

oh no doubt dude. the bassist, sean hurley... hes my cousin.

[tk100]

The drummer, back up guitar and especially bassist are madly skilled. JM can always get the best to play with him.

[finklebob292]

I cant believe this is live so amazing!!!!!!!!! I love you John

[mrdjjames]

Always a line of Ho's on the front row. great song though.

[himfanlok]

great performance! I so want to be that mic XD!

[Olga22]

I wanna be Superman

Love this song

[goruby2]

great song

[roguestout]

Good lord that was amazing!

[HEARTNJOHNMAYER]

i love the ending.its so funny

[ArewGiurgi]

whats with the stutter remix! WTF LOL ;P

[asolognier]

I liked him since Inside Wants Out, but I have to admit that this guy has matured a lot.

He is much better now.

[tk100]

No doubt.

But you gotta give him credit for his creativity back in the 'any given thursday'. "83", "neon", "clarity", "why georgia" are amazing. Period :D

[asolognier]

Period...

[guitarmansegovia]

this is the best set of lyrics ever.

[ToBerfestaNDZEAland]

the beginning reminds me of Jack Johnsons Dreams Be Dreams.

This is my favourite Mayer Song!

[pokepal24]

hahah, for the first some seconds, i thought i was rippid of, but then it was a live version, and what are those double piano thigys called? are they electric organs?

[PhuMonstaMon]

Just two keyboards on a rack.

[Mharr1s]

his voice is so much better now then it was back then

[In2Infinity]

his best song by far

[normina457]

wish i had ths gy writin songs lik ths fr me.ths songs jus mine.

current greatest musician...john mayer!!!
